Update 3/28/2025: I swung by the old golf club today and as expected all I found was the old parking lot and an empty course. Photos are below.
This golf course has quite the history. Too much to go into here. It was part of a criminal investigation in the 1980's, there were once plans of building a 25,000 foot convention center on site that was not approved, and finally the owners in the early 2000's went bankrupt and the property fell into disrepair. After that it was used for a new housing development. It was quite nice when it was going though. That is just the highlights.
From Fore Tee:
Wolverine Golf Club is a public, 45-hole golf facility located in Macomb, Michigan. Wolverine Golf Club had five nine-hole courses. The courses are The Blue course, The Green Course, The White Course, The Red Course and The Gold Course.
Wolverine Golf Club first opened for play 1965 with the opening of the Blue/Green Course. The Blue/Green nines were designed by Bruce Matthews. The White Course, The Red Course and The Gold Course opened in 1986 and were designed by Jerry Matthews.
The five nine hole courses at Wolverine Golf Club are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The club will sometimes rearrange the combinations for tournaments. The courses are normally played as the Red/Gold Course, the Blue/Green Course and the Green/White Course. The Red/Gold combination is the most difficult. Water is most prevalent on the Green Course, but there is considerable water hazards on all five. Sand bunkers are also a big part of the designs, especially around the greens.
Wolverine Golf Club closed in 2006 (or 2004 according to a newspaper archive).
